'What do you want to
The words are familiar,
do with your life?^^^^
^Fhe decision to attend college is an enormous
step in molding our future. The impetus for that
decision is the desire to broaden and enrich our
lives through education while helping carve out a
nich in the professional world.
Peer, parental, spousal and personal expectations are the major forces behind a persons
desire to obtain a higher education, according to
Gerald E. Osborne, director of Counseling and
Testing.
Says Osborne, "Society lets you be uncertain
about your future if you are in college. You can
legitimately buy time."
Osborne suggested that college is often a
"means to an end. Many occupations require a
college degree."
Despite the vast array of personalities, ethnic
backgrounds and goals, students here at the University of Houston share in the challenge of obtaining a degree.
Says Deborah Doffing, a Journalism senior, "I
chose to come to college because I felt I didn't
have any marketable skills. I knew that college
would help me discover my talents.
